Review of Metaphysics 47 (1):171-172 (1993)

Abstract

It has appeared to many that if God knows exactly what we are going to do before we do it, and God's beliefs cannot be wrong, then we never have it in our power to refrain from doing what we do and thus never really act freely. Zagzebski's goal is to demonstrate that appearances are in this case deceiving, that incompatibilistic human freedom is compatible with God's infallible knowledge of all that has occurred, is occurring, and will occur in the future.
